ACT Grey 20 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 20 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable (model IB7120) is a 20 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and 26 AWG conductors. The F/UTP (foil over overall braid) construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission, while 50 µ gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal contact. The cable has a grey PVC sheath (RAL 7045) for standard office or rack installations.

Advantages

F/UTP CAT5E specification provides improved shielding against external interference compared with unshielded cables. Dual RJ-45 connectors and 50 µ gold contacts deliver consistent connectivity and corrosion resistance. The 20 m length offers extended reach for flexible device placement, and the PVC sheath in grey (RAL 7045) gives a durable, professional finish.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers over short to medium distances
• Office, server room or home network cabling where moderate shielding is required
• Data transmission at CAT5E performance levels (Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps depending on network equipment)

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 20 m
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated
• Sheath: PVC, colour Grey (RAL 7045)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall socket. Avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable; maintain reasonable separation from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this F/UTP CAT5E cable for typical Ethernet connections up to 20 m. If your installation requires higher shielding or higher data rates (e.g., 10 Gbps), consider selecting an appropriate higher-category or individually shielded cable.
